Cats are often lonely creatures that would sooner stick to themselves than interact with others. In actuality, it can occasionally be difficult for people to win their cats’ devotion. These animals seem to play hard to get most of the time.
Thus, it surprised one specific human when, when wandering in the Swiss highlands, he was unintentionally saved by a “herioc” cat.
Not so long ago, sc4s2cg, a Reddit member, was a tourist trekking in the Swiss Alps. While hiking not far from the settlement known as Gimmewald, he unexpectedly became lost in the forest.
Gorgeous forests with mountains, yet still lost.
It’s not funny to be lost in the midst of winter in the mountains. Hypothermia and exposure are easily fatal conditions for a human. The Redditor chose to go for a stroll instead of using the ski lifts, even though it was skiing season.
When he finally made the decision to go back, he discovered that the mountain pass route that led to the settlement was no longer accessible. On the map he possessed, there was no alternative route that led back.
Panicking, he took a few deep breaths and sat down to consider his options.
That’s when this unexpected cat emerged.
The hiker was also seen by the massive black and white tabby. It approached him and just took a seat next to him. In the company of an absolute stranger, the cat didn’t seem shy at all and appeared to be a really nice animal.
The two were silent for a while until the cat trotted off along a nearby trail. The Redditor said that the cat regularly paused to glance back.
Thus, he followed. To his surprise, the cat took him directly down the road that went to the hostel where he was staying.
Without exchanging a word, he and the cat then went their own ways in good faith.
Finally, he learned that his furry rescuer belonged to the hostel owners and that they especially enjoyed having visitors. especially the lost and naive ones.
